I take a lot of pride in my work, and I truly believe in the golden rule of treating others how I would want to be treated. Therefore, I am very courteous, attentive, and empathetic to your concerns and needs since I am a homeowner myself and have gone through this process. On my inspections, I don't adhere to the standards of practice, I SURPASS them! The only way to perform a true home inspection is to dig deeper than most others and really go the extra mile for my clients. I ALWAYS walk attics (which can be hard for some of the older, heavier inspectors), and I definitely get into crawl spaces when it is safe and where so many issues are usually found. Again, this can be difficult for a lot of inspectors who are likely to just disclaim that the space was not "readily accessible." Also, I am very knowledgeable, but if I don't have an answer, I do my best to find the answer for you. Once you are a client, you are always a client, and I am here for your concerns or questions about home maintenance and such for life.

Patrick did a fantastic job. He made special arrangements to come on a Sunday morning which he is typically off. He was there half an hour early. He did a through exterior and interior inspection and had the report ready by the afternoon. Would highly recommend him. I also added the radon test. I researched many home inspectors and choose Patrick because he was professional and explained to me the process. Many others when I called seemed to be too busy or are doing me a favor. And he was the opposite attentive and showed appreciation for my business. He did not deviate from what he described on the phone to when he did the inspection. If there was a 10 rating I would him 15. Thank you Patrick for a great job.

Thank you so much!! I hired this company 3 days before test results were due for a rental and right before a federal holiday. He was able to come out to the home in the evening, take samples and have the results to me just in time for me to turn them in. This was amazing. I would without a doubt hire this company again!! A million thank you's again!!!

We asked Jim to do a complete house mold inspection for a house we were under contract to purchase. We were concerned about previous flooding in the basement of the house, and we noticed areas of the garage ceiling that had been exposed to moisture. There was no visible mold. Jim used the latest spore collection methods and equipment, and he employed infrared viewing to inspect hidden spaces. As it turned out, Jim's expertise paid off. We were saved from making a very expensive investment in a house that showed evidence of toxic mold. We can't praise Jim enough. He is a professional educator who guided us through the process and helped us understand the significance of his findings. We would recommend him as a first choice to anyone in the Maryland area who wishes to have peace of mind about his or her home purchase.

I was concerned with the strange subtance I noticed in my basement. A friend of mine referred me to RAE Enviornmental Services. From the moment I spoke with the consultant over the phone I felt at ease. They were friendly and courteous and were able to accomodate my schedule immediately. The inpector was committed to providing the most thorough and comprehensive Mold inspection and testing available. He used state-of-the-art assessment procedures and equipment to completely evaluate the air quality in my home and identify the source of moisture and water intrusion that may have been causing mold growth. I felt their services were detailed, efficient, accurate and completed in a timely and professional manner. I was also provided with a full report and laboratory findings. Thanks RAE
